Two Volvo L90's moving a railway switch (Video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjmsueaGHcs
Two Volvo L90s today at the railway training centre. First removing old sleepers from the trackbed. Then moving the point/switch into place so we can mount it. Last in the movie, a Bobcat running on rails. ![]() Wanted to upload this to the TV section but couldn't find any category for it. Last edited by Bobjork; 8th November 2011 at 19:27. |

We are going to put some ballast in the switch when it is mounted. The grass is in ballast (and coal). The switch will not be used by trains, it is only for display and for practicing measuring etc. |

I cannot imagine our H&S allowing that!
Machines with greater lifting capacity would be required . . . Thanks for sharing. After spending time earlier today researching Scania L-types I was expecting to see vintage bonneted trucks! |

Ballast can be either Track Ballast:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_ballast
or Ballast Weights added to counterbalance or increase weight up to a prescribed minimum. |

(except that you have to replace the **** with the letters a_r_s_e - if you try to put that word here it 'bleeps' it out with astericks!) I see that we aren't allowed a_rsehole or even a_sshole . . . It is used in all but the most polite society to mean backside as in "Look at the a_rse on that lass/girl/woman." or even "Get your a_rse down here!" meaning "Come here quickly!"
